Last evening I arrived at Shari Town after riding motorcycle for 17 hours
for 464 km from Otaru. I was completely exhausted and fell in asleep at
night in my tent.
Shiretokoiozan Volcano is located in the middle part of the Shiretoko Peninsula
and it is around 25 km from Utoro Town where hotels and shops are located.
Where I am staying is much far from Utoro Town and I would take one hour
and a half to get the beginning of mountain trail. But Shari Town is much
convenient to stay.
My researching area is around Crater I which expelled the molten sulfur
which is located at approximately 600 meters from the sea level. It is
necessary to walk on the mountain trail for 1.5 km to get there.
This area is completely covered by snow in the winter and accessible between
June to September. When I am staying in the mountain, I sometimes see bears,
foxes and deer. I am looking forward to seeing those animals.

小樽から17時間のかけて464kmもの距離をバイクを運転し、ようやく昨日の夕方斜里町に到着した。
知床硫黄山は知床半島の中央部に位置し、ホテルや店がたちならぶウトロから25kmの距離にある。僕が滞在している斜里町中心部はそれよりももっと遠いが、スーパーや雑貨屋などがあってより便利だ。
溶融硫黄を噴出した1号火口は標高600mの場所にあり、登山口から1.5kmほど登山道を登らねばならない。冬の間は深い雪におおわれているため、毎年6月から10月までしか行くことができない。山では熊やキツネ、鹿をたまに見かけるが、それも調査の楽しみのひとつだ。
